Description
Walker Pass is a scenic highway between Inyokern and Lake Isabella, California. It passes through small towns Weldon and Onyx where old ranch areas, dramatic mountains, and rugged desert collide.
I took this photograph from the highway looking north towards the Sierra Mountain peaks.
Walker Pass was charted as a route through the Sierra in 1834 by Joseph Rutherford Walker, a member of the Bonneville Expedition who learned of it from Native Americans. Walker returned through the pass in 1843, leading an immigrant wagon train into California. ~ Wikipedia
